When officers arrived at the 600 block of Surrey Street shortly after 8:20 p.m., they discovered the man dead on the ground, the release says.

According to the investigators, the victim had been walking with another man on the sidewalk when a dark-colored vehicle drove up and two men wearing dark, hooded jackets got out of the vehicle and, armed with handguns, approached the pedestrians.

As one of the pedestrians ran away, he heard a single gunshot, the release says.
